Body bags fill up a new promo for Guillermo del Toro's The Strain

Marketing for Guillermo del Toro and Chuck Hogan’s new FX series “The Strain” is in full-swing as the network has dished out a rather dark new promo for the show, which comes right on the heels of the new poster that was quite an eyeful.

His army will rise this summer.

The Strain is a high-concept thriller that tells the story of Dr. Ephraim Goodweather (Stoll), the head of the Center for Disease Control Canary Team in New York City. He and his team are called upon to investigate a mysterious viral outbreak with hallmarks of an ancient and evil strain of vampirism. As the strain spreads, Eph, his team, and an assembly of everyday New Yorkers wage war for the fate of humanity itself.
